Watched 2012 with Qi yst~
It is VERYYYY NICEE! Really damn nice.. initially i wasn't looking foward to watching it cos it looks so dark and depressing and i thought tt after watching the world crumble into pieces and the helpless people dying, i'd really feel like I was crumbling under the weight of my projects and exams....>.< But it was nothing like what i imagined! The graphics were Amazingg~~ The scenery was so beautiful even though the earth was going haywire!! It din't feel depressing at all watching the waves swallowing the mountains and the buildings crumbling! In fact it was beautiful and artistic.. it's because the graphics are good k not tt i'm sadistic. And watching families huddling together to face death from the impending tsunami together, was a saddening but beautiful moment. I think if such a disaster really happened and there was no escape.. nothing could be more comforting than facing it together with your loved ones.

The show also made me think about questions like what would people do if such a thing was really gonna happen? Will people save themselves at the cost of others? Who will people save? Should only those considered the 'fittest' survive? Should people have been told the truth about the apocalypse? Would you rather know when the end of the world was coming? I think I'd rather not know until maybe 1 day before it happens.. maybe just have enuf time to meet the people i love and say what I wanna say to them, maybe tell ppl the things i never dared to say so I'd die without regrets.

In the show, the governments kept it from the rest of the world cos there just wasnt enough time to build enough ships to save everybody, so only people who were considered to be able to contribute to humanity were allowed onboard. They even selected animals to be on board the ship! They could fit in so many more people in the ship but they rather save the animals! Ok maybe i'd save a few cows and pigs and chickens so there'd be smth to eat and maybe dogs cos they are cute haha but certainly not giraffes and rhinos!! They take up so much space when they could fit so many more ppl into the ship!

Ok shall stop ranting in case i giveaway the ending.. haha.

Overall the graphics were really amazing and the display of humanity in times of adversity in the show was really heartening, and I really liked this quote, '

When we stop fighting for each other, that's when we lose our humanity'.
